Aireis lead Lita inside what appeared to be just a tree. However, inside looked very livable. "This is my home. Living alone sure opens your mind to books and the outdoors. Most of my life I've spent watching over you, and surviving out here. I don't know my parents, nor do I have pictures. All I know is from what I've read and obsurved. I have books from martial arts to cooking! What do you think?"

"Wow...you made this place?" The hollow of the tree had been furnished by book shelves and furniture that he had crafted himself. "And the magic? How did you learn to fly?" "Oh...that I got deep in the forest. I spared the life of an elk, that inturn, was really a nobel spirit of the forest. He gave it to me in return for his life. I know a few other minor spells. Since elves are, by nature, creatures of magic. Some I've even known since birth!" Airies paused for a moment. "Are you ok? It's late, you should get some rest...here, you can sleep in my bed." He picked Lita up, caried her to a bed, and tucked her in.

"We'll talk more tomarrow." he whispered, kissing her forehead. "Wait...Airies...I know we kinda got off topic, but...how did you find me?" He knelt down next to her and said, "I was on a hunt when I got word from the faries that you were being held against your will. I came as fast as I could to save you...right on time, too. In the past, I would save you without being seen. I was always afraid that seeing you, face to face, might weaken my fighting...knowing how in love with you I am. This time...there was no way around it...if I was to save you, I was going to be seen.

Can't hide in the shadows forever..." he said, smiling down at her. "I'm so happy you're here. I missed you." he leaned over and hugged Lita. "It's been so long since I've had a visitor here. I was afraid you wouldn't notice me and love someone else...I'll never let anyone hurt you...never." he kissed her forhead again and held her tight. "Airies...how could I forget an angel like you?" She wraped her arms around his neck and kissed him deeply..."Thank you. For always being there for me when I needed you most." He smiled and kissed her back. "Sweet dreams, my love." He stood up and blew the lantern out that hung by the bed.
